ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
Originally from Northern Ireland, Hannah Southard came to the United States in 2017 for a tennis coaching internship. She discovered that her passion for fitness expanded beyond tennis, and she became a NASM-certified personal trainer. After moving to Kentucky, she also got certified as a yoga instructor and a precision nutrition coach. Hannah has experience training people of all ages and aims to make fitness fun while creating an enjoyable and sustainable healthy lifestyle for everyone! 

Regular yoga is so intimidating—try chair yoga!

Start your week well with "choga" fun and relaxation with certified instructor Rebecca Cox of Good Karma Yoga.

Now you can enjoy a gentler yoga workout without becoming an arm-and-leg pretzel. This low-impact version is performed with a chair for support, making it perfect for a beginner or someone with difficulty balancing. Some individuals in wheelchairs may also be able to participate; please consult your doctor first if you have medical questions or concerns.

Play gives children a chance to practice what they are learning.  —Mr. Rogers

Join us to help your little one start their early-learning adventure! Toddler Storytime for ages 0 to 2 is designed to help lay the foundation for lifelong learning through a combination of stories, songs, and play.

Children learn language by listening to others talk, and stories and songs help them learn how language sounds, add new words to their growing vocabulary, and begin to understand what words mean. Play helps children express themselves and put thoughts into words as they explore the world around them and build early social skills through interactions with other children.
